October 1994. Editor: Anjum Katyal<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is children's theatre a significant enough area of theatre in our country today to warrant an entire issue devoted to it? This question is bound to strike many readers as they notice the focus of this third issue, especially since theatre for young audiences is widely dismissed as 'entertainment' featuring simplistic fantasy along the lines of witches, fairies, and princes who marry princesses to live happily ever after.\r\n\r\nEven if one regards theatre for young audiences as 'just' entertainment, what is the quality of that entertainment? What are the semiotics of that entertainment? What are our children absorbing by way of messages, ideas, values as they watch it, and what expectations or attitudes are they forming about theatre in general? Will they then continue to identify the theatre-going experience with light entertainment, escapism and easy fantasy, resisting, as adults, the more challenging, demanding interaction with theatre that makes a good audience? These questions seem important in the light of a growing unease, amongst those who value serious theatre, over the dwindling audience it commands.<\/span><\/pre>\n
